A very unique and elaborate chapel was inaugurated recently at St George’s parish church in Rabat, Gozo, Malta. It is covered with pristine mosaic built and crafted over the last 24 years. It was a pain-staking job done with love, but the end result is truly spectacular as you can see from these 2 photos. The style is neo-Byzantine, and it is something you may see inside a Greek or Russian Orthodox church. But this church, one of two in the town of Rabat, Gozo, the other one being the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, is covered with art and paintings from different eras, mostly by Maltese artists, done over the last 200 years. The tabernacle is made of silver and is a replica of a pyx.
